This time the target is not within the Imperial City, but outside the Imperial City, which is often referred to as the Zhili territory.
Zhili is not a state, but refers to the prefectures and counties directly affiliated with the imperial capital, which is the heartland of the emperor.
After the governor, governor, and military officer became permanent official positions, Zhili also established a governor and governor, or a governor general in the governor's office. Zhili was under the jurisdiction of the governor of Zhili. Later, the official office of the governor of Zhili was from Shanggu Mansion.
Moved to Bohai Prefecture, and added control of the East China Sea Navy.
Generally speaking, the governor plus the title of Youdu Censor is the second rank, and the governor plus the title of Minister of the Ministry of War is the first rank. However, after controlling the Donghai Navy, the governor of Zhili usually also adds the title of bachelor and is promoted to the first rank, which is already the first rank.
He is the first in the feudal territory and the first in the world.
It is worth mentioning that when Emperor Gaozu was still alive, Mrs. Xuansheng served as the Great Immortal of Taiping Dao. Emperor Donghuang was not yet an Immortal Immortal. He once served as an official in the court, first as the Commander-in-Chief of Military Affairs of the East China Sea Navy, and later as a concurrent officer.
Governor of Zhili, it was not until Xuan Sheng replaced the three Da Zhenren that Donghuang was recalled to Yujing and succeeded his sister-in-law as the second Da Zhen of Taiping Dao, and also became the head of the Li family. Because Xuan Sheng has no direct descendants, today's Li
The main lineage of the family is all descendants of Donghuang, but Xuansheng and Donghuang are brothers, both from Li Daoxu's branch, so there is no problem for them to call themselves descendants of Xuansheng.
As for why Xuansheng has no descendants, someone once revealed the secret, saying that after Emperor Shenzong of the Wei Dynasty, there should have been three generations of emperors. Xuansheng acted against heaven and caused the death of Shenzong in the Wei Dynasty.
You can't be like Emperor Gaozu who was allowed to leave an heir by the way of heaven, and you have to ascend in advance. .??.
Others say, in fact, it is not only that. Confucianism was supposed to be the most popular school, and the philosophy of mind replaced Neo-Confucianism. Buddhism would also take advantage of the situation and share the world equally with Confucianism, but Xuansheng forced it to become Taoism.
In short, there is only one meaning: Xuansheng was punished by heaven.
In fact, it is no wonder that such rumors spread, because Xuansheng's state in the later period is indeed wrong. Xuansheng integrated the Taoist sect and revitalized the Taoist sect. It already had great prestige. After Xuansheng defeated Lord Buddha, his prestige reached an unprecedented level.
With the power of the great victory over Buddhism, it is not difficult to continue to integrate the three ways. However, after Xuansheng defeated the Buddha, he lived in seclusion and handed over all kinds of affairs to the three deputy masters, including the great masters.
It is also difficult to see Xuan Sheng.
That's all. At that time, it was recognized that Xuansheng had survived the first heavenly tribulation, which meant that Xuansheng could stay in the world for two hundred years. However, Xuansheng chose to
Together with Mrs. Xuansheng, he ascended to the throne. Many people who witnessed it at that time kept it secret and tacitly agreed not to leave a single word. This has also become one of the major unsolved cases since the Taoist sect was revived.
Judging from Xuansheng's various weird behaviors, Xuansheng did encounter certain difficulties during his last period of time in the world, which made him unable to take care of various affairs of the Taoist sect.
So there was a speculation that although Xuansheng defeated Lord Buddha, he was also severely damaged by Lord Buddha and could not make up for it. In the end, he had to ascend to solve this problem.
However, there are also objections, because Xuansheng rarely showed up before facing the Lord Buddha. For example, when the ancient immortals sneaked into Yujing and recruited Taiyin Lord, Xuansheng never showed up. It was decided by all the great immortals together.
But at that time, everyone thought that Xuan Sheng was concentrating on preparing for a battle with Lord Buddha and did not think deeply about it. Looking back now, it is still a bit strange.
Therefore, some people say that in fact, the creation project is too contrary to nature. Manpower creates immortals, reverses destiny, and reshapes the bones. All of them are acting against nature and inconsistent with the harmony of heaven and man. They will definitely be punished by heaven. Xuan Sheng
There will inevitably be backlash.
These are not secrets, they are widely circulated among high-quality Taoist priests.
Returning to the topic, the target of this Qingping meeting is Qingyuan County in Shanggu Prefecture. This was once the residence of the Governor's Palace. The Zhili headquarters of the "Inn" is located here. The "Inn" has already included other branches in Zhili territory.
All the manpower of the account has been reduced to the main account here, and the strength is very strong.
Qi Xuansu repeated his old tricks, and after changing his disguise, he quietly left the Imperial City and headed all the way to Qingyuan County.
Shanggu Mansion is about three hundred miles away from the Imperial Capital. If you ride a horse, it will take at least half a day, but it doesn't take that long to fly by. You can go there and back the same day.
Qi Xuansu came to a ruined temple outside Qingyuan County and landed.
This was originally a Buddhist temple with a relatively strong popularity, but the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect had a falling out. The Taoist sect began to "exterminate Buddhism" in anger, expelling the monks, or forcing the monks to return to secular life. A large number of Buddhist temples were either converted into Taoist temples.
Either it was sealed down, and this Buddhist temple was not spared and fell into ruin. After so many years of wind and rain, it was already in a very dilapidated state.
This is the gathering place agreed upon by the Qingping Association.
There is an unwritten rule for people who stay away from home all year round: they would rather sleep in a cemetery than live in a ruined temple.
Although the cemetery is gloomy and scary, there are descendants who offer sacrifices every year, just like people who follow the rules, they can be reasonable, and generally speaking, nothing will happen.
But the ruined temple is different, especially this
Temples that have been in disrepair and have no incense for worship are extremely easy to harbor evil and evil spirits. If you rush in, you are likely to be coveted by the monsters who have been cultivated to become spirits, or be absorbed by ghosts.
Yang Qi.
Or the robbers who block roads and rob people often stay in ruined temples. If they break in rashly, they will be killed by the robbers.
Qi Xuansu really caught up with him today. A group of passing strongmen gathered here. However, when Qi Xuansu entered the main hall, he found that this group of strongmen were wandering around like headless flies. They seemed to be looking for a way out, but they always failed.
If you don't go out, you will turn away every time you are a few steps away from the door. Instead, you will keep bumping into walls and even bumping into each other.
Qi Xuansu could tell at a glance that these people were trapped in a formation similar to "ghost hitting the wall". They thought they were walking in a straight line, but in fact they were going in circles. When they saw the wall, they thought it was an exit, so they bumped into it.
When I see the exit, I think it is a wall, so I always stop moving forward.
This group of people only felt that the Buddhist temple in front of them had become infinitely large. No matter how they walked, they would never be able to get out. The more panicked they were, the more difficult it was to distinguish between true and false, and the more real the formation became.
This group of strong men are all martial arts practitioners, and they are all men in their prime, with strong bodies and strong blood, and there are many people. With the blood and energy gathered together, the alchemists in the Yin Shen Realm and the Entered God Realm can defeat them and kill them, but
He may not be able to trap them, but to be able to manipulate so many people in the palm of his hand, he is at least a thunder realm alchemist.
Formations can be roughly divided into two types: permanent and temporary. The former requires the help of external forces, either talismans, treasures, buildings, or mountains and rivers to form formation points, and then connect with the earth's energy to complete the formation.
After that, it can exist for many years, as is the case with various mountain and city protection formations. The latter does not require external force and only consumes one's own mana, true energy, divine power, and true energy. It is relatively simple. Once the person who performs the spell stops, the formation will be destroyed.
Then disappear.
There will definitely be no permanent formation here, and Qi Xuansu has not found any trace of the person who cast the spell. He can't help but evaluate this alchemist to a higher level, that is, he is a heavenly alchemist. I don't know if he is in the Realm Transformation Realm or the Creation Realm.
Naturally, Qi Xuansu was not affected by the illusion of the formation. He turned around and left the main hall of the Buddhist temple. Then he heard a female voice that seemed to have multiple overlapping voices: "It is not uncommon for heavenly beings to be born. Thirty-year-old heavenly beings are not uncommon, but they are not."
Heavenly beings who reach the age of thirty are quite rare. Even if the Taoist sect that is said to be the world's best comes to me, it must be treated as a treasure. When will our Qingping Association produce such outstanding figures?"
Qi Xuansu suddenly raised his
Turning his head, he saw a figure wearing a bronze mask of a Class A member standing above the main hall, with a bright moon behind him. Her whole body blended into the moonlit night sky, so harmonious that it was difficult to detect. If she hadn't taken the initiative to speak out, Qi Xuansu would have also
Unable to discover it, I guess she was the one who performed the spell.
Qi Xuansu immediately guessed the identity of this person and said: "'Jin Cuo Dao' has seen 'Taichang Yin'."
"Taichang Yin" was not so arrogant as to stand on the roof and talk condescendingly to Qi Xuansu. He swayed to the ground and said: "It turns out that he is the son of the Seventh Lady. No wonder, no wonder."
Qi Xuansu was silent, even a little embarrassed.
It seems that Qiniang has already publicized it. Qi Xuansu can even imagine a very unbearable scene - Qiniang is sitting with some big shots, looking very high-spirited. Look, this is my son. I taught him everything.
The level of cultivation is not much worse than that of Li Changge, not to mention Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei. Xiaodao, come here and play with your "magic knife" to show the elders, the authentic Song Zheng "magic knife", ordinary people can't practice this
, no worse than Yao Pei's "Heavenly Sword"!
Of course, if Qi Xuansu loses to Li Changge, Qiniang will probably look at a loss. Son? What son? I don’t have a son! My son has died long ago. You said "gold is wrong"? He is just an adopted son, and he is just a fake.
Do you understand? It’s fake, not real. How can an adopted son be the same as his biological son? Qi Haoran’s apprentice lost to Li Changge. That means Qi Haoran is not as good as Li Changgen. What does it have to do with me? You still ask? It’s not over, right?
?I think your skin is itchy, rolling!
"Taichang Yin" looked at Qi Xuansu again and said: "It's really strange that I can't see through your origin and destiny. Could it be that the Seventh Lady has used some method on you to hide the secrets of heaven?"
Qi Xuansu knew in his heart that it might be related to the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", but he said: "I don't know, this junior."
"Taichang Yin" did not dwell on this matter. With the development of Taoism to this day, it can create immortals or turn mediocre people into immortals. It is not easy to modify one's destiny. It is just a pain for people like them who read fortune-telling. It is all fake.
Of course, I can’t tell for sure. But it won’t last for a few years. When the “end of Dharma” comes, everything will turn into nothingness.
"Taichang Yin" said: "I am a member of the council, and I have nothing to do, so I come here first. 'Sheng Wuyou' and 'Meng Xingyun' have a lot of things to do, so they have to come later."
Qi Xuansu looked at the strong men who were still fighting.
